Buckland

Today was a lovely day out at an orienteering event near Buckland - an hour or so from Hobart.

Somehow I managed to arrive at the event with 4 pairs of shoes. None of them were my orienteering shoes so I had to borrow Zali's (although I was tempted to run in the ugg boots).

Zali, Jett and I all ran the same course - a short but hard navigation course.  I made almost no mistakes and managed to squeak a win over Zali by 30 seconds.   Jett ran really well too - by the third control he was already a minute ahead of both Zali and I (I was coming third at that stage!), but some mistakes in the latter part of the course cost him 5 minutes..   I was really proud of them both for having such confident runs on a harder course than they are used to ands it's clear that my days of being faster are nearly but not quite over. This time next year I'll be reminiscing about the days when I used to beat them!
